◇ 【126】 Melee
"Chengfeng, you are no match for me. If you are willing to hand over the magic sword in your hand, I, the master, can let you go. As everyone knows, I, Yin Ji, have no other advantages. The only advantage is that I keep my word." Yin Ji stared greedily at the Yuehui Sword in Gu Juan's hand.
Gu Juan replied: "If you are willing to stand on our side, I don't mind giving you half a piece of Ice Heart Lotus."
Yin Ji smiled sinisterly, and the gloomy aura around her became even stronger. A faint black mist swirled around her dress, like a ghost from hell.
"Boy, it seems you can't wait to die."
Yin Ji raised her right arm, and with a swift, flashing arrow, an arrow from her sleeve shot towards Gu Juan. The blast of air stirred up by its speed formed a vortex like a flower, which flashed by. This arrow was certainly no ordinary one. Its smooth, glazed shaft and glossy black arrowhead were radiant with spiritual energy.
In terms of cultivation level alone, Yin Ji was indeed higher than Gu Juan. Gu Juan did not dare to be careless. His eyes suddenly became fierce, and he swung the sword with his right hand, and a silver light flashed like a thread.
“Crack—”
The sword blade split the arrow in half, and the sharp sword energy pierced Yin Ji unhindered like a bamboo breaking through.
Yin Ji sneered disdainfully, "I underestimated you." She immediately stepped forward and soared into the air as swift as a black eagle. Suddenly, she turned sharply in the air, her arms flashing frequently, and dozens of arrows surrounded Gu Juan from different directions like swordfish finding food.
"The stars surround the moon!" Gu Juan shouted softly, and danced his long sword in the air. The sword energy split into white light balls equal to the number of arrows, like falling stars, heading towards all the arrows.
"Swish, swish, swish--" Several light sounds rang out one after another. After the starlight swallowed the arrow, it gathered into a ball and condensed into the Yuehui Sword like a bright moon.
Yin Ji's face was filled with a solemn expression. Gu Juan's control over his primordial energy had surpassed her expectations. She wasn't just worried about Gu Juan's difficulty; she was also wondering where he had come from. The cultivation world was already extremely short on resources, and if such a mysterious force were to emerge, their situation would be even more dire. Whether it was for the Ice Heart Lotus, the ultimate spiritual weapon, or the future of their Demon Sect, she had to eliminate Gu Juan.
A wind suddenly blew around Yin Ji, and her black dress fluttered in the wind like black mist.
Gu Juan became more vigilant.
Yin Ji's figure instantly appeared in front of him and pushed out a palm.
Gu Juan raised his sword to fight.
The two men fought again.
At this time, Xi Lang and Feng Feiye, who had been confronting each other, also moved.
Feng Feiye didn't reveal his weapon. Even the best weapon would be vulnerable against Xi Lang's supreme spiritual weapon, so it was better not to use it. He extended his right hand, and the condensed energy quickly condensed into the shape of a sword.
Xi Lang smiled slightly, "Master Feng, please don't let me down." These people are his sparring partners to increase his practical combat experience. The stronger Feng Feiye is, the happier he is.
Feng Feiye didn't understand what he meant, but that didn't dampen his resolve to defeat Xi Lang. His eyes were now fixed on the Dragon Scale Blade. His first move was a powerful one. With his right hand as the center, thousands of sword shadows appeared in the air, forming a terrifying sword net that rapidly descended upon Xi Lang.
Though these sword shadows were imaginary, their power was real. Xi Lang felt as if he were standing on flat ground, suddenly flooded from all directions, even his head was blocked by dark clouds. But he didn't panic. He swung his dragon-scale knife, emitting a low roar like a dragon's roar. "Hua—" a white curtain of light suddenly unfolded from the dragon-scale knife, soaring into the sky. Feng Feiye's sword net was like a piece of glass suddenly shattered, the sword shadows shattering into a myriad of fragments, blasting away.
At the same time, Xi Lang appeared in front of Feng Feiye, and the dragon scale knife stabbed into his chest like a switchblade.
Feng Feiye took a deep breath and tried to dodge to the side, but the Dragon Scale Knife was indeed a top-grade spiritual weapon. Its strong knife energy completely suppressed him, and he couldn't move for a while!
Feng Feiye was horrified! In the split second between life and death, he hurriedly pulled out an iron-gray hexagonal jade slip from his sleeve and held it against his chest.
The dragon scale knife pierced the jade slip, and it shattered instantly, with dazzling silver light bursting out.
Feng Feiye also seized this opportunity of less than a second, moved his feet quickly, and dodged to a position three or four feet away. He took a few quick breaths before calming down, and his vigilant and murderous eyes were fixed on Xi Lang's face.
"Very good. For the sake of the top-grade spiritual weapon, I wanted to spare your life. In that case..."
Feng Feiye turned his palm over, and in his hand appeared a three-pointed, two-edged sword, a top-grade spiritual weapon, and he attacked first.
Xi Lang naturally used the Dragon Scale Blade to block, but as soon as the Dragon Scale Blade made contact with the Triple-pointed, Double-edged Sword, he keenly sensed a difference. The Triple-pointed, Double-edged Sword itself was naturally no match for the Dragon Scale Blade, but Feng Feiye clearly knew his weapons intimately, perfectly mastering the art of using a small force to displace a large one. Therefore, in the previous attack, the Triple-pointed, Double-edged Sword didn't lose out against the Dragon Scale Blade.
Xi Lang was not afraid at all, but felt delighted. A gleam of light flashed in his deep eyes, "Come again!"
Over there, Snow Ape and Huang Mingde were also engaged in a fierce battle.
"roar!"
In the eyes of the snow ape, Huang Mingde and the others were like dwarfs. It waved its arms and pinched the two monks like ants, tightening its fists.
The waists of the two monks were instantly broken, and they let out shrill screams. Their bodies fell to the ground, and their scarlet blood dyed the white ice red.
Zhu Mian, holding his spirit sword, seized the opportunity to attack from behind, thrusting it fiercely into the snow ape's back. However, instead of piercing the ape's flesh, his sword bent into a semicircle and bounced off with a ding. Not even a scratch remained on the ape's body.
"The skin and flesh of this snow ape are too tough!" Zhu Mian said in a deep voice, extremely angry.
Huang Mingde stepped forward and said, "Let me try. Brother Zhu, Brother Bai, please distract the snow ape, and I'll deliver the fatal blow."
Zhu Mian, Bai Xiangnan, and the other experts they had brought with them all nodded. They had already seen that the flying needle in Huang Mingde's hand was a top-grade spiritual weapon, and his chances of seriously injuring the snow ape were indeed greater than theirs.
Huang Mingde stepped aside first, while Zhu Mian, Bai Xiangnan and others launched an attack on the snow ape at the same time.
Huang Mingde enlarged the flying needle and his calm gaze swept over the snow ape's eyes, mouth and ears.
Although Xi Cong, Han Lin, and the others had gone invisible, they were still terrified by the sight of such a fierce battle for the first time. Their blood seemed to be burning with passion, but they felt no fear, nor any intention of retreating. They clenched their fists nervously, their eyes fixed on the battle.
At this time, they already understood why Gu Juan and Xi Lang insisted that they come down.
"The snow ape is in a bad situation," Li Ruicheng whispered. "Even if it can cultivate its fur to be extremely hard, its eyes, ears, and mouth must be its weaknesses."
They vaguely guessed that Chengfeng and Polang were Gu Juan and Xi Lang (after all, most people here had sects, and only Chengfeng and Polang were alone), so they psychologically tended to side with the snow ape.
Xi Cong nodded. "Looking at Huang Mingde's shifty look, it's clear he's already noticed these three weaknesses of the snow ape."
"That flying needle must be the one from Brother Tian's house." Gu Yinyin said.
Tian Yunzhi had become one with them, so he did not hide this matter.
He nodded and clenched his fists. "One day, I will take it back with my own hands."
This sentence won the approval of Xi Cong and others. If Tian Yunzhi had said that he hoped Gu Juan and Xi Lang would help him get the Sky Flying Needle back, then their impression of Tian Yunzhi would have been greatly reduced.
"If my cultivation level wasn't too low, I really want to go out and have a fight with them." Han Lin's eyes flashed with excitement.
Zhang Muheng said, "I agree."
Xi Cong smiled confidently, "That day will come."
Gu Yinyin and Luo Qingyou exchanged a silent glance. While they weren't as belligerent as the men, they were also incredibly excited. Having chosen this path, they couldn't hold others back. They still had a lot to do!
At this time, the battle between Gu Juan and Yin Ji had reached a climax.
Gu Juan became more and more courageous as the battle went on, and he forced Yin Ji to retreat step by step.
Anger flashed in Yin Ji's eyes. She suddenly withdrew her hand, her abdomen contracted, and her mouth opened. The air inside suddenly vibrated. At the same time, the entire ice cave swayed as if floating on the sea.
Then, she let out a strange scream: "Ah-ah-"
A strong sound wave rushed towards Gu Juan, piercing his eardrum like a thorn. Gu Juan was caught off guard and was knocked out, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Xiaojuan!" Xi Lang's face changed drastically.
"I'm fine!" Gu Juan shouted quickly, fearing that he would be distracted.
Yin Ji showed a smug look on her face and continued to use her magic sound power.
Gu Juan quickly leaped from the ground. Before the next sound wave could strike, he pulled out a sound-absorbing seal from his storage ring and infused it with his true energy. The seal blocked his way, hovering in mid-air and absorbing all the sound waves from the opposite direction.
Yin Ji seemed to have lost her voice and could no longer use her magic sound.
"How is this possible!" Yin Ji was horrified and looked at Gu Juan in confusion. Who was this person? It would be fine if he had a top-grade spiritual weapon, but he actually had a top-grade talisman like the Sound-Absorbing Sound Seal!
Gu Juan ignored her doubts and swung the Moonlight Sword without hesitation, shouting, "The river is pouring and the moon is falling!"
A silver light flashed in front of Yin Ji, bringing up a flash of blood.
Yin Ji wailed, covered her abdomen, and knelt on the ground. Bright blood flowed out from between her fingers and gathered in a pool on the ground.
[Mou Mou is working hard. I'll be able to resume my double update schedule in a few days. I'm really sorry for making you wait so anxiously. One by one. Good night and sweet dreams.]
